CHAPTER 3: WOMEN & LIES
SHANE
i pulled up at my moms house , as an unmarked car sat in her driveway.
"mommy!" "mommy" taylor called out as he watched me through the window. soon as i opened the door taylor ran up to me and hugged my legs i showerd him with kisses.
"wassup boy, mommy missed you!" i held him tight as i thought of alex hurting my son.
my eyes beganed to water. i held taylors hand walking towards the dining room
"hey ma... who's car is that. . . it dont even have a lic- " my thoughts were disturbed as my mother laid next to her naked ass boyfriend thomas
"damn shane , did you knock!?," she yelled feriously. "ma,wtf you got my son up in here, and you up in here screwing in the next room.
you gotta be kiddin me" my temper rose as she stood up while thomas coverd up his penis with a pillow.
my mother closed the dining room doors in her robe and she walked into the kitchen as i followed.
"girl this is my house, dont come in here checkin me,i been told you to come and get taylor" she said with attitude pouring me and her self a cup of tea.
"yea whatever, ma .. you and that damn thomas are some old nasty freaks!" she started laughing as she sat beside me.
"so. . hows everything?" she asked sipping her tea. i shook my head as my mind grew like a maze.
"salon is going well. . . alex is still harassing. . . bills are fine. . .my truck needs work, im thinking of putting taylor in a summer program. . . "
" you dont have to put him in no program he can stay here i'll just take my man to the bedroom while he's napping"
i adjusted my sunglasses and shook my head twirling the spoon in circles. "no i dont want his father showing up,besides he needs to be around other children"
"mother's knows best. . . that alex was tryna come over yesterday but we were at the grocery store,you know i shop far out why won't you just let him see the boy?"
my mother asked
i couldnt be honest, i couldnt let her know that i been getting manhandeld over the years . she didnt even know about my love for women.
i just cant be honest with her she would never understand. i grew up watching her pomicouis ways, i never knew who my father was and i was the only child. she raised me well , but she didnt teach me shit.
"ma. . . he doesnt deserve that oppurtunity anymore"
"why? , does he hurt you in any kind of way?," she beganed to dig deeper and that was my que to bounce.
"no mama damn... im out" i quickly removed myself from the kitchen table, she follwed me to the living room.
"taylor baby put on your shoes and grab you backpack" he did just what i had said.
" shane ,i know hes putting his hands on you.. why else would you be runnin away from this man for? "
" ma just stay out of it alright!?" down the sidewalk i went with just me and my baby,and we pulled off
i put taylor to sleep as soon as we got home, i stood in the bedroom looking at my reflection , he left a dark ring around my eyes, scratches on my stomach.
just like the old days. damn i thought to myself i look about 30 and im 22. my buzzer went off at my apartment. buzzing it back "who is it?"
"its alex lemme just talk to you.. im sorry aiight?" "fuck you" i buzzed back
